From Tim Baker about this song: "I chose "Leaving on the Evening Tide" firstly because it's such a great song. It's everything you want a Ron Hynes song to be - it's personal, local, clever, catchy, and it's somehow heartbreaking and tough and rousing at the same time. And for me, it's true. I've spent my whole adult life leaving, saying goodbye, going off in vans and planes for work and school and tour. Me and my entire generation of Newfoundlanders. Also, it's my mother’s favourite Ron song."
Lyrics:
I am leaving on the evening tide,
Now Mother don't go crying.
For my own tears are hard enough to hide,
And won't survive sad parting.
For I am bound away to America.
No, I can't delay, no, my mind won't change.
Let your young man say goodbye, before your boy begins to cry,
I am leaving on the evening tide. I am leaving on the evening tide.
Woh-ooh-woh, oh, Woh-ooh-woh, oh, oh, Oh-oh, oh, oh,
Woh-ooh-oh, Woh, Who
Look here old man, I've done all I can,
I can't rise up your burden.
For the land is done, and your course is run,
Mine is barely begun.
So, I am bound away, and I know what you'll say.
You'll curse the day that you gave me my name.
And with your heart so betrayed with cruelty and pride.
But I am leaving on the evening tide. I am leaving on the evening tide.
Woh-ooh-woh, oh, Woh-ooh-woh, oh, oh, Oh-oh, oh, oh,
Woh-ooh-oh, Woh, Woh
I am leaving on the evening tide,
Make no mistake, my darling.
And were I to gaze once more into your eyes,
I would still, be in your arms by morning.
So, I am bound away, before the break of day,
This note explains what I could never say,
Please don't wait for me, forget the tears we cried,
I am leaving on the evening tide, I am leaving on the evening tide.
Woh-ooh-woh, oh, Woh-ooh-woh, oh, oh, Oh-oh, oh, oh,
Woh-ooh, oh,
Woh-ooh-woh, oh, Woh-ooh-woh, oh, oh, Oh-oh, oh, oh,
Woh-ooh, oh, oh, oh,
I am leaving on the evening tide.

Thank you. This is stunning. I’ve listened 100’s of times and will never tire of this.
Couldn’t possibly imagine this being done better by anyone else than Tim Baker. Beautifully done, tugged at the heartstrings for sure. Ron was one of a kind!
In tears. Ron was my idol when I was a kid. A fitting tribute.
You were a kid?
@@ryantwitter343 I'm 32 years old. I was a fan of Ron from the age of 12 onwards. I was lucky enough to meet him once or twice at local shows and he was always gracious and kind to me. An incredible man.
Ron Hynes was the most modest man I've ever met. I met Ron back in 2010 in high school and got his signature on the slip that I needed to attend the event. I watched his documentary and it was the best thing I've ever watched. It really opens up to what we don't know about the ones who sacrifice their lives to make music for us. Ron would be humbled to listen to this and to know that his music is kept alive !

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you to Tim and all involved. Ron would be so proud!
Never knew this song could make me feel more than when I first heard it. What an incredible performance.
A Ron song with a late era Beatles and classic Queen vibe mixed together. Pretty cool!
We had the pleasure of hearing Tim Baker at Alan's recent show here in Toronto. What a talented artist! Well done. Can't wait to hear the whole CD.

One of Canada's finest songwriters, no doubt. Love the anthemic arrangement.
